Because of a baseball meeting at the high school yesterday, I wasn’t able to fit in an entire 3-mile walk. But I did get in 2 miles. Not so bad! I’m back on schedule for the Flying Pig and I’m ready for […]

An Amazing Person Running Boston
Through my connections with the many walkers I meet, I do “occasionally” meet runners. There is one runner I don’t know as well as her fast-walking husband, but from what I do know, she is pretty amazing. Her name is Andrea Applegate. […]
